Pigeon River - Leaf Season II

Pigeon River - Leaf Season II

I made a pilgrimage back to the same stretch of river I had explored in the other Pigeon River painting. This time it was leaf season and traffic was snarled for more than 20 miles as the procession of Fall leaf watchers hugged the edges of the mountains. I was never so glad to abandon the main road and take a break in this section of the river away from the city-stye traffic jam.

    This very pretty, paintedsoul! It reminds me of Oregon, where I’m from originally! Peaceful and untouched in so many places. Nicely done! I feel acrylics are difficult.

  • thepaintedsoul replied

    Hey Jean. Thanks for dropping by to have a look. I wish I could see the original again. Alas its home is northern Michigan. : >D Acrylics do seem tougher to get a look I’m wanting. But I feel like I’m slowly getting more comfortable with them. Have a great week! TPS

    Is this the Pigeon River in Gatlinburg, Tennessee? The water in this painting is beyond superb…..looks as if I could put my feet in it and stay a while. Truly, the water is unbelievable! And I know what you mean about the ‘crouds’ because I live in Nashville…..another tourist town

  • thepaintedsoul replied 12 days ago

    Hi Deborah, Yes, it is close to Gatlinburg. Just up the road in the mountains another four or five miles. Water is tough to paint, at least it is for me. : >D That’s why it’s so rewarding to hear someone comment about that aspect of the painting. Thanks so much for your kindness.

  • thepaintedsoul replied 12 days ago

    You are right. This piece of land has always been a wonderful spot to just sit and reflect about life. I’ve not been in four or five years, and I miss it. Thanks for dropping by. Cheers!

    I love the way you have painted this scene and wish I could do leaves catching the light as well as you have!!

  • thepaintedsoul replied 12 days ago

    Isn’t that part of what keeps us coming back to our art again and again? . . . that trying to attain those magical places in our work? It’s a challenge, isn’t it? Thanks so much for dropping by. Have a great weekend ahead. Cheers!

    Congratulations! Your work has been featured in the Landscape Painting Group by Guest Artist John Cocoris.

  • thepaintedsoul replied 12 days ago

    WOW! That’s unexpected and a delight. I appreciate John selecting this painting. I wish this work were still in my own collection. But last I heard, it was residing in a home about 500 miles away in northern Michigan. Thanks for letting me know about this Lynda. Cheers!
